VALPARAISO, IN (October 17, 2016) – La Porte Hospital and Porter Regional Hospital have combined the hospitals’ two occupational medicine service lines – Porter’s Health At Work and La Porte’s Occupational Health – to become one new comprehensive program called Workforce Health. The new service will combine the unique strengths of both occupational health and wellness initiatives under one umbrella and serve Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan.
Workforce Health has four conveniently located comprehensive occupational health clinics with in-house x-ray and physical therapy in Valparaiso, Portage, La Porte and South Bend. A network of coordinated urgent care and emergency services are also offered for after-hour care when the occupational health clinics are closed.
